Humans Should Never Be For Sale.

Between 14,500 and 17,500 people are trafficked into the U.S. each year.

This form of modern-day enslavement exists all over the U.S. but Cook County (Illinois) law enforcement arrests more sex traffickers than anywhere else in the country.

"The Salvation Army is understanding and always has my back. They're not judgmental."
